"No! Phoebe, come back here! It's not safe! Phoebeeee!"
Her J-Mama's calls echoed back to her as Phoebe ran off down the street, chasing the puppy that had caught her attention earlier. Yes, she knew she was supposed to stay with J-Mama, that she was 'too little' to be alone outside safely, but she'd gotten outside on her own lots of times already, and nothing bad had happened to her! Besides, what could hurt her? She could take anything and anyone that wanted to hurt her, and who would anyway? She was much too cute and pretty and nice to ever want to hurt!
She lost sight and scent of the puppy after a few minutes of chasing, and turned around, wondering wher she was. She couldn't hear J-Mama any more, nor could she smell the musty dusty smell of old books and leather that meant she was near home. . . so where was she? The toddler tilted her head as she looked around, watching and listening carefully for anyone she knew.
"Hey there, little lady, are you lost?" The hand extending towards her from the stranger withdrew at a surprising speed when Phoebe growled at him, tail lashing. She was tough, she was brave, she was the mostest awesomest little girl ever and this big, scary, man couldn't do anything to her! Still, maybe it would be better to leave. . .
And off she ran again, until she spotted - wonder of wonders - a toy store! A squeak of delight escaped her mouth and she ran up to the windows, pressing her nose against one of them and peering in at the bright shiny wonders inside. She deserved all of those toys, but how to get people to give them to her. . .? J-Mama was easy enough, but she wasn't here. . .
Hm. This called for some sneakiness. . .

"ILYROSA! STOP!!" Damon cried, trying vainly to keep up with the energy-filled child as she ran down the sidewalk full-tilt. That is, till her eyes fell upon a girl with bright pink hair and a tail like she did! "HEY! WATCH OWT!" she called, trying to stop and failing as her foot caught on the uneven cement and sent her tumbling into the girl.
"Oops! I sowwy! Yew ok? I weally WEALLY sowwy!" she cried, looking vaguely upset. Despite the few scrapes that littered her knees and elbows, as there always was, she seemed unharmed. Even as Damon skidded to a stop beside the two, he looked more worried about the girl than his own child.
"Are... you two... ok?" he panted, clutching a stitch in his side. If there was one good thing about Ily, it was that he never had to go to the gym. The girl practically wore him out more than any workout he could within a half hour. Especially since she never exactly slept...

Phoebe whimpered as she was run into and landed painfully on her bum; however the pain went away quickly enough as the other girl talked to her, and she smiled. "I'm okay," the pigtailed pride child chirped after she made sure that she didn't have any bumps or bruises that would show - whether or not she had them in other places, she didn't particularly care, as long as they wouldn't ruin her vanity.
She reached a hand out to her fellow toddler, ignoring the big person that had come up. He wasn't any more interesting than J-Mama was, and that meant he was boring. Besides, the girl in front of her had a tail, too!
"You okay? You run really fast, faster'n me! J-mama can't keep up wiff me, she'd never find you!"
Meanwhile, several streets down, Jadyn was frantically looking for her daughter and vowing that next time they went out for any reason, she would get her on one of those kiddie leashes.

Ilyrosa just grinned happily as the girl didn't seem too hurt. "Yay! I glad yew's not hurt. I fine, an' I can. Daddy can't keep up wiff me most of th' time," she replied, taking the offered hand and pulling herself to her feet.
"Dat's my daddy dere. So, why yew owt here?" she asked, pointing to Damon to show who he was and taking a quick glance around. Where were they anyways? She had started running from the park farther down the street out of sheer boredom and curiosity as to how far Damon would run before giving up.
"OOH! TOY STORE!" she gasped, bouncing in utter delight at the sight of so many toys and completely oblivious to the loud groan from Damon. "CAN WE GO IN DERE WIFF... wiff... Wha's yews name? I Iwywosa." Pah, names, they were so overrated so why did she bother asking for them?

Phoebe giggled and looked around, before leaning in close to this 'Ilyrosa' girl and whispering, "I'm running from J-Mama, to see how soon she can find me!" Then she giggled again, added a quick, "I'm Phoebe!", and grabbed the other little girl's hand, bouncing over to the door and peering in, trying to work out if the door pushed open or pulled open, or - oooooh, it opened on its own! J-Mama's doors didn't do that!
"Let's go, let's go! Let's go inside!" She chirped, and hurried in without even bothering to look and see if she was being followed. The pretty toys were calling to her!

"Ooh, dat sounds wike fun," Ilyrosa giggled, already knowing how fun it was to run away from a parent to cause them to worry and spazz. She found it highly entertaining, even if Damon didn't. Allowing herself to be dragged into the toy store, her eyes widened with awe and excitement at the sight of all the toys around her.
"WOAH! Where we go first?" she asked, bouncing a bit. There were so many toys to see and play with and snuggle and tear apart, she didn't know WHERE to even begin! Well, maybe not so much tear apart as throw around and have fun with.

Phoebe giggles and shifted her weight from foot to foot as she peered around the toy store, trying to find a fun place to go. There was just so much stuff here! And it wasn't boring old smelly books like J-Mama had, it was bright and shiny and cute and fuzzy and pretty and noisy and fun TOYS! She had to pick, had to choose, but. . . how could she? Toys were toys! Where to go first. . .?
"Oooooooooooooh," she exclaimed, spotting a particular aisle a ways down the store that seemed to be exploded in pink things. She just knew there had to be awesome toys there! "This way, this way!" She exclaimed, letting go of Ilyrosa's hand and hurrying off to the pink-aisle. She wasn't as fast as the other child, some instinctual part of her knew this already, but she was still going to run as fast as she could anyway!
Meanwhile, Jadyn huffed and puffed her way up and down the streets, calling for Phoebe and asking people if they'd seen her. After talking to one man who recoiled from the description like a little monster had attacked him, the dark elf knew that she was getting closer.
And when she saw the toy store down the street, she knew exactly where her hyperactive charge had gotten to.

Pink things? Ah, well, it wasn't her favorite color but it wasn't all that bad. Still, she ran after Phoebe, making sure not to get ahead of her and show off or anything. After all, there might be something else she could have seen. "Wow... so much pink," she muttered, looking around at the various toys in almost every shade of pink.
"Yews favowite cowor pink?" she asked, guessing it was true based on how much Phoebe wanted to go to this particular aisle.
Damon, not really wanting to go into said toy store, stood outside and guarded the entrance. If anyone left with his child or the one she probably now deemed as her best friend, he'd know. "I assume, my dear lady, that judging by your expression you own a child with bright pink hair that managed to slip from your sight and wander all the way down here?" he asked the elf once she had gotten close. He already knew what the answer would be and was even preparing to be led into the toy store in hopes of finding the children.

Phoebe giggled, spinning around and around in circles, taking in all the pretty toys in the aisles. She stopped, however, when her eyes alighted upon a ballerina doll, standing on one toe, the other leg extended out and upwards. "Oooooooooh," the little pink-haired girl said, reaching out for the toy and snagging it off of the shekf. "I'm gettin' her!" Hugging the doll close to her, she giggled and peered at Ilyrosa. "I like pink 'cause it looks like me," she declared, and then tilted her head., "Let's go find you a favorite toy, too!"
Jadyn blinked at the man standing outside, and nodded. "So she did go inside then," the dark elf said, tilting her head as she looked at the other adult. "Why are you standing out here, anyway?"

"Tha's pwetty an' it does wook wike yew," Ily agreed, then peered around the aisle for something. Dolls didn't amuse her quite as much as other girls her age. Actually, things she could snug or toss around captured her attention far more easily... Like the teddy bear at the end of the aisle! "EEE! DIS ONE! IS SUPAR SOFT!" she squealed, picking it up and hugging it tightly.
"Multiple reasons, most of which aren't really reasons but I do know they haven't left yet," Damon replied, opening the door and holding it for the elf. "After you, m'dear."

Phoebe giggled and twirled in circles, hugging her ballerina doll and doing an impromptu dance on the spot. "You got a nice bear! I like it! Let's find more toys!" She cheered, smiling at her impromptu best friend. "You pick where to go! Pick, pick, pick now!"
Jadyn thanked the man for holding the door open for her, though she cocked an eyebrow at his description of reasons. "All...... right then.... let's find our vanished kids then, shall we?"

Ily giggled and glanced at the aisles. "Uh-uh-uh-uh-This way!" she called, already heading for what looked like an entire section of the store dedicated to stuffed animals. At least, that's what she thought due to the giant stuffed animals and wall of beanie babies.
Damon nodded and entered the store, scanning it for a flash of red or bright pink. "Hm, I already know where my daughter would be drawn to, but only you would know about yours. We can start with where she would be, then my child... or we could wait here for them to find us," he explained, also listening for shrill squeals of delight. Course, being in a toy store for kids that was a given. and made their hunt far harder.

Phoebe giggled and spotted a stuffed dragon - it was bigger than she was and a bright pink color, and plump and fat with big wings. It was also on a self high above her head. "Oooooh, I like this one!" Setting her dollie down carefully, Phoebe grabbed hold of the shelf walls and started climbing, fully intending to get that toy dragon.
Jadyn shook her head. "There's no way I can just stand around here and wait," the dark elf said in exasperation. "If I do, I'll only be watching the entire store crash down around us."

Ily gasped as Phoebe started climbing the shelves, watching in amazement at how easily she maneuvered up them. “Wowwie! Yew’s weally good!” she commented, eyes wide with wonder. Of course, with her attention so fully focused on the pink-haired girl she was completely oblivious to her father’s gaze.
“And here I thought I was the only one with a destructive child,” Damon chuckled, suddenly spotting something pink climbing the shelves. “Ah, well, destruction or not, I think I know where they are. Best we hurry,” he added, maneuvering through the crowd with ease as he made his way over to the aisle where Ily and Phoebe were.

Phoebe giggled and then stuck her tongue out, reaching, reaching for that dragon. . . there! Tiny fingers nabbed it, and she tugged it off the shelf. "Catch'er for me, please!" She called out, and let the dragon drop before starting to scramble back down the shelf the way she'd climbed up.
Jadyn followed her fellow parent with a sigh. "I swear, she's singlehandedly going to put me out of business," the dark elf murmured as they hurried to the aisle. "PHOEBE! GET DOWN FROM THERE RIGHT NOW, IT'S DANGEROUS!" She yelled as she caught sight of the pigtailed toddler imitating a monkey and throwing caution to the wind yet again.
